The FI Corporation’s dividends per share are expected to grow indefinitely by 5% per year. a. If this year’s year-end dividend is $8 and the market capitalization rate is 10% per year, what must the current stock price be according to the DDM? b. If the expected earnings per share are $12, what is the implied value of the ROE on future investment opportunities? c. How much is the market paying per share for growth opportunities (i.e., for an ROE on future investments that exceeds the market capitalization rate)?

Answers

Answer:

a)

P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)

P₀ = current stock price = ?Div₁ = next dividend = $8Re = equity cost = 10%g = constant growth rate = 5%

P₀ = $8 / (10% - 5%) = $8 / 5% = $160

b)

EPS = $12

Return on equity (ROE) = g / b

b = retention rate = 1 - payout ratio = 1 - ($8/$12) = 0.333

g = 5%

ROE = 5% / 0.333 = 15%

c)

Present value of growth opportunity (PVGO) = P₀ - EPS/Re

P₀ = $160EPS = $12Re = 10%

PVGO = $160 - $12/10% = $160 - $120 = $40 per share

The Sherman Antitrust Act: Multiple Choice was passed in 1800. All of these statements are true. was actively used by President Roosevelt in the early 20th century. no longer applies to business practices today.

Answers

Answer: Was actively used by President Roosevelt in the early 20th century.

Explanation:

The Sherman Act of 1890 was a law passed by Congress to target monopolies in the United States. At the time, Trusts had been in existence. Trusts were in effect monopolies because they worked by getting the largest stockholders to transfer their stock to a single trust and get profits from all companies in the trust. This Trust would then in effect control the industry as a monopoly.

To combat this, the Sherman Act enabled the Federal Government to go against Trusts and dissolve them. This was good news to President Theodore Roosevelt who ruled from 1901 to 1909. Roosevelt hated the anti-competitive tactics of the rich that ripped off the poor. He believed that this would bring about a revolution and he also hated them as the big corporations thought themselves above the law in his assessment.

Using the Sherman Act, he went against them with so much vigor that he earned the nickname, The Trust Buster. He started with a Trust controlled by J.P. Morgan called Northern Securities Company which was dissolved by the Supreme Court after the Attorney General under Roosevelt brought a suit against them.

You own a stock portfolio invested 34 percent in Stock Q, 18 percent in Stock R, 36 percent in Stock S, and 12 percent in Stock T. The betas for these four stocks are 1.03, 1.09, 1.49, and 1.94, respectively. What is the portfolio beta

Answers

Answer:

Portfolio beta = 1.3156

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks betas' that form up the portfolio. To calculate the portfolio beta, we use the following formula,

Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N

Where,

w represents the weight of each stock in portfolio

Portfolio beta = 0.34 * 1.03  +  0.18 * 1.09  +  0.36 * 1.49  +  0.12 * 1.94

Portfolio beta = 1.3156

A firm has a profit margin of 5.1 percent, a total asset turnover of 1.84, and a return on equity of 16.2 percent. What is the debt-equity ratio

Answers

Answer:

Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

Explanation:

The ROE or return on equity can be calculated using the Du Pont equation. It breaks the ROE into three components. The formula for ROE under Du Pont is,

ROE = Net Income / Sales * Sales / Total Assets * Total Assets / Shareholder's equity

or

ROE = Net Income / Total equity

Assuming that sales is $100.

Net Income = 100 * 0.051 = 5.1

Total Assets = 100 / 1.84

Total Assets = 54.35

0.162 = 5.1 / Total equity

Total Equity = 5.1 / 0.162

Total Equity = 31.48

We know that Assets = Debt + Equity

So,

54.35 = Debt + 31.48

Debt = 54.35 - 31.48

Debt = 22.87

Debt / Equity = 22.87 / 31.48

Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

Capitalized cost of the land = Purchase price + Demolition of building + Title insurance + Attorney fee + Property taxes covered during the period - Scrap value from the building

= $420,000 + $12,000 + $900 + ($3,000 - $500) - $1,500

= $420,000 + $12,000 + $900 + $2,500 - $1,500

If I currently sell 10,000 units, and my use of Formula 1 indicates that I will need to sell 500 additional units to justify my suggested change to the marketing mix, what percentage of sales does that represent

Answers

Answer:

It represents a 5% change to the marketing mix.

Explanation:

The change = 500/10,000 x 100 = 5%.

Company A's change in a variable can be compared with another index, by expressing the change (addition) as a percentage of the index.  For instance, the sale of 10,000 units is an index.  The additional 500 units that is needed to be sold represent the change.  In percentage terms, the change can be divided by the index and then multiplied by 100.

Tyler Company applies manufacturing overhead to production at the rate of $4.9 per direct labor hour and ended August with $12,900 underapplied overhead. Actual manufacturing overhead incurred for August amounted to $110,410.
How many direct labor hours did Tyler Company incur during August?

Answers

Answer: 19,900 hours

Explanation:

Direct Labor hours = Applied Manufacturing Overhead/ Applied Overhead rate per hour

Applied Manufacturing Overhead

When the overhead is said to be under-applied, the Applied overhead is less than the Actual Overhead.

To find the Applied overhead therefore;

= Actual Overhead - Under-applied amount

= 110,410 - 12,900

= $97,510

Direct Labor hours = Applied Manufacturing Overhead/ Applied Overhead rate per hour

= 97,510/4.9

= 19,900 hours

A company with 99,006 authorized shares of $8 par common stock issued 48,828 shares at $13 per share. Subsequently, the company declared a 2% stock dividend on a date when the market price was $22 a share. What is the amount transferred from the retained earnings account to paid-in capital accounts as a result of the stock dividend?

A. $43,563
B. $21,484
C. $7,812
D. $13,672

Answers

Answer:

$21,484

Explanation:

A company has 99,006 authorized shares of $8 par

The common stock was issued at 48,828 shares at the price of $13 for one share

The company made a 2% dividend declaration

= 2/100

= 0.02

The market price is $22 per share

Therefore, the amount that was transferred from the retained earnings account to the paid-in capital accounts can be calculated as follows

= 48,828 shares × 0.02 × $22

= $21,484

Hence the amount that was moved from the retained earnings account to the paid-in capital accounts as a result of stock dividend is $21,484

You short-sell 200 shares of Rock Creek Fly Fishing Co., now selling for $50 per share. You are required to post a 50% margin on the short sale. If your broker requires a 30% maintenance margin, at what price will you get a margin call? (Ignore interests and dividends)
a. $62.50
b. 57.69
c. 56.25
d. 37.50

Answers

Answer:

b. 57.69

Explanation:

Calculation for what price that you will get a margin call

First step

200 shares *$25 per share=$10,000

Second step

Based on the information given we are required to post a 50% margin on the short sale.

Now let find the 50% margin

50% margin =50%*$10,000

50% margin=$5,000

Hence,

$10,000+$5,000=$15,000

Third step

Based on the information given we were told that the broker requires a 30% maintenance margin.

.30=($10,000-200p)/200p

60p=$15,000-200p

260p= $15,000

Hence

$15,000/260

Price= $57.69

Therefore the price that you will get a margin call will be $57.69

ABC Co. and XYZ Co. are identical firms in all respects except for their capital structures. ABC is all-equity financed with $475,000 in stock. XYZ uses both stock and perpetual debt; its stock is worth $237,500 and the interest rate on its debt is 10 percent. Both firms expect EBIT to be $53,000. Ignore taxes.


Requried:

a. Rico owns $23,750 worth of XYZ’s stock. What rate of return is he expecting?

b. Suppose Rico invests in ABC Co and uses homemade leverage. Calculate his total cash flow and rate of return.

c. What is the cost of equity for ABC and XYZ?

d. What is the WACC for ABC and XYZ?

Answers

Answer:

ABC Co. and XYZ Co.

a. Rico owns $23,750 worth of XYZ’s stock. What rate of return is he expecting?

Expected Rate of Return = 12.32%

b. Suppose Rico invests in ABC Co and uses homemade leverage. Calculate his total cash flow and rate of return.

Cash flow from ABC Co. = 11.16% of $23,750 = $2,650.50

Cash outflow from homemade leverage = 10% of $11,875 = $1,187.50

Total cash flows = $1,463 ($2,650.50 - $1,187.50)

Rate of return = $1,463/$11,875 x 100 = 12.32%

c. What is the cost of equity for ABC and XYZ?

Cost of Equity for ABC Co. = Expected Return on Equity

= $53,000/$475,000 x 100

= 11.16%

Cost of Equity for XYZ Co. = Expected Return on Equity

= $29,250/$237,500 x 100

= 12.32%

d. What is the WACC for ABC and XYZ?

WACC for ABC = Cost of Equity = 11.16%

WACC for XYZ = Weighted Cost of Equity + Weighted Cost of Debt

= 11.16% x 50% + 10% x 50%

= 0.0558 + 0.05

= 0.1058

= 10.58%

Explanation:

ABC:

Equity = $475,000

Expected EBIT = $53,000

Returns on Equity = $53,000/$475,000 x 100 = 11.16%

XYZ:

Equity = $237,500

Debt = $237,500

Interest on Debt = 10% = $23,750

EBIT = $53,000

Return for Equity = $29,250 ($53,000 - 23,750)

Return on Equity = $29,250/$237,500 x 100 = 12.32%

RICO is assumed to leverage debt for his shares in ABC Co. to the tune of 50% just as the debt leverage in XYZ Co.

ABC's and XYZ's costs of equity are equal to the expected returns on the equities expressed percentages of the equities.

ABC's and XYZ's WACC or Weighted Average Costs of Capital are the weighted cost of equity plus the weighted cost of debt respectively.

The principle that each World Trade Organization member must accord to all other member countries tariff treatment no less favorable than it provides to any other country is known as the __________ principle.

Answers

Answer:

Most favoured nation principle

Explanation:

Most favoured nation (MFN) clause of the World Trade Organisation requires that when a nation trades with others the concessions, immunities, and privileges granted to one nation should be the the same granted to all WTO members.

It discourages discrimination where one nation in international trade is favoured above another.

For example if Ghana reduces tariff on trades with South Africa it is expected that tariffs to other WTO nations will also be reduced to 3%.

Exceptions to this principle are for developing nations, regional free trade areas, and custom unions.
